Will the rear end from an 06 V6 fit my GT?
Just bought an 05 GT convertible. (Automatic) The rear end sounds terrible. Knew this when I bought it. It came with everything (brand new) to drop it to a 4.10 (I think) but I don't feel like rebuilding a rear end myself. There are a few avaiable at a decent price used.
My question is: What fits? Found another convertible 06 model, but this one has a v6. Can I use this in my GT? Is it the same?
Not sure what my car came with for stock gearing.

It would mount but the 7.5" open differential won't last long. Definitely a downgrade and will have to be replaced soon.
The 2005-10 V6 uses a 7.5" rear end rather than your stronger 8.8". It doesn't come with a tlok so you have one wheel getting the power. It doesn't take much to break one either.
Starting in 2011 all Mustangs have the 8.8 with tlok.

The 7.5 was barely up to the task behind and 1982-85 GT, so, your 420 horse GT will bbq its *** in molasses, boy, in no time. They had to put an 8.8 behind the modern 11+ V6 b/c it was too much for the 7.5, after the gasping-fish 4.0 went dodo.
Just build it and do it once instead of twice like you propose.
